Creating a LonBridge Device Class File
A LonBridge device class file represents the device interface for a LonBridge
application. This interface can be the same as, or different from, the device’s
interface. The device’s interface is defined by its source files (Neuron C files for
Neuron-hosted devices or model files for ShortStack devices). These files define
the functional blocks, network variables, and configuration properties for the
L
ON
W
ORKS
device; for Neuron-hosted devices, these files also define the device’s
behavior. You use a tool such as the NodeBuilder Development Tool or the Mini
EVK to develop and manage these files. For a LonBridge device class file, you
can use any appropriate development tool or code editor.
To create a device class file:
1. Examine the L
ON
W
ORKS
device’s interface as defined by its source files.
This interface includes the device’s network variable definitions.
